Children's and Young Adult Literature

A blog with book reviews and an annual list of the best feminist books for young readers, ages birth through 18. This project is part of the the Feminist Task Force of the Social Responsibilities Round Table of the American Library Association.

The purpose of this database is to create a tailored reading list of quality children's and young adult literature or to find out if a book has won one of the indexed awards. This is a useful tool for K-12 educators who need to connect a reader to a book.

The Rainbow Book List is created by the American Library Association's Rainbow Book List Committee and presents an annual bibliography of quality books with significant and authentic LGBQTIA+ content, which are recommended for people from birth through eighteen years of age.
